In this paper, we are going to use the techniques of quantum field theory to describe the free energy of DNA structures. The exact solutions of the general equilibrium shape equations for DNA structures in a Kirchhoff model by using the Feoli's formalism [A. Feoli, V. V. Nesterenko and G. Scarpetta, Nucl. Phys. B705, 577 (2005)] are investigated. The free energy of the B- to Z-DNA transition is also calculated in this formalism.
